The mission of No Barriers is to fully unleash the potential of the human spirit. Through transformative experiences, tools and inspiration, we help people embark on a quest to contribute their absolute best to the world. In the process, we foster a community of curious, brave and collaborative explorers who are determined to live the No Barriers Life.
We often get asked about how to get involved in the important work of No Barriers. While there are some opportunities to volunteer at our annual events, there are also many ways you can champion and expand the work of No Barriers in your own backyard!
Please let us know how we can help—we’re grateful for your support.
